Yeah Dateline did a report a few weeks ago on the number of Critical Violations by each fast food chain. A Critical Violation is any violation of food handling standards deemed serious enough to potentially make you violently ill.

They tested like 100 different restaurants across the country for each fast food chain, and found that McDonalds was the worst with like 1.5 Critical Violations per location. That means if you go to McDonalds, there is a good chance your meat wasn't kept cold enough, or the employees didn't wash their hands after dropping a deuce.

Taco Bell rated really well surprisingly, and so did Wendy's. Two of my favorites. But they still came in at 0.8 critical violations per location. So no matter what fast food place you go to, you're dealing with germs!

the thing about sit downs is when you get your food and it's not cooked right or something, never , NEVER send it back , just eat it the way it is. reality is all places that serve food screw around sometimes. i've heard many stories about spitting, putting boogers or even dipping their balls into the sauce of a pizza strait from the people who used to work there. there no telling what you've eaten.

The last time i attempted to eat at any fast food place it was a taco bell and the woman making my food had a puss-ridden open wound on her arm that was wet. And what gets me is they have a sign in the bathroom saying all employees must wash hands before returning to work.

1. The sign was in english, which i doubt any of the cooks spoke or read anyway.
2. There was nothing written or said about the gooey infected open wound being
washed or treated or bandaged or anything remotely sanitary.
3. Even if they could speak english, do you really want to eat something prepared by
someone whos superiors spend big money on constant visible reminders to wash
their f*cking hands after they take a sh*t???

When I lived in D.C. a Popeyes near my house sold a fried rat's head as part of a chicken meal. Pretty narsty.

Also, if anyone lives in Gaithersburg, MD, stay away from a Chinese food restaurant in Lakeforest Mall. Apparently, health inspectors found dead cats in the freezer and had to temporarily shut the place down.

I don't care much for fried rat or cat and so I try (emphasis on try) to stay away from fast food.
